covering -of the seeds; in the flat cotyledons imbedded in the albumen; in the 
palmate nerves of the leaves; in the basal connation of the stamens; in the 
pored anthers; and in the absence of septa in the substitute fibres. 
198 Cochlospermacee”: Near the Bixaces. Van TrEcHEM refers this 
family to the Malvales. 
199 Winteranacese”: So far as the presence of oil cells in the cortex, 
medulla and leaves, the bordered pits in the wood-prosenchyma, the general 
structure of the xylem and the inconstant number and spiral arrangement of the 
perianth-segments are concerned, this family comes very close to the Magno- 
liaceee. But when we take into consideration the presence of oil-cells placed 
as above mentioned and the connation of the stamens, it should be brought 
near the Myristicacez. In other general characters, however, it is rather re- 
lated to the Violacezw and Flacourtiaces. 
200 Violacezee”: Near the Flacourtiaces and Cistacee. 
201 Flacourtiacese”: Closely related to the Violacew, Turneracer, 
Bixacex, ‘Tiliaceee and Passifloracew. The family also comes near the 
Stachyuracee, Cistacew, Theacese and Elsocarpaces. In some respects, the 
family is a transitional form between the Datiscacess and the Caricaces. 
Further, it is comparable with the Capparidacere. 
202 Stachyuraceee”: This family is clearly related to the Dilleniaces 
and to the Theaces. Bar~Loy points out its relation to the Clethracese and to 
the Bixaceze. 
203 Turneracee™: Near the Passifloracess and Malesherbiacen. 
204 Malesherbiaces”: Close to the Passifloracese and Turneracem. 
205 Passifloracese®: Intimately allied to the Malesherbiacex, and Tur- 
heraces in general respects. But in the receptacles and their effigurations and 
in the often stalked ovaries, the family is comparable with the Thymeleacex. 
In some other respects, it is rather close to the Cucurbitacese. 
206 Achariacee”: In the superior ovaries, in the parietal placentas
